News : How effective could be the new NADA app launched by Sports Minister?

Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju unveiled the National Anti-Doping Agency’s first mobile app to provide information about prohibited substances and their inadvertent use, calling the initiative an important step towards dope-free sports. The app aims to create a bridge between athletes and the Nada by providing easily accessible information on various aspects of sport, and most importantly about prohibited substances and their inadvertent use which may affect the career of athletes. The app also has exhaustive information about whether a specific commonly-prescribed medicine contains any substance that is prohibited by Nada, therefore helping athletes and coaches to decide which medicines athletes can consume in case they are unwell. To ensure a smoother, quicker process of dope test for athletes, the app allows doping control officer to record their availability to conduct a test through this app.
